Abstract

Heron Island Great Barrier Reef White Capped Noddy Anous minutus Wedge-tailed Shearwater Puffinus pacificus tourism seabirds environmental planning
Heron Island, in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Australia, has been the subject of many recent case studies. There are a number of issues associated with permitting resort developments and expansion of the Research Station to gradually encroach on the nesting areas of the wedge-tailed shearwater and the black noddy. The roles of scientists and planners in dealing with these issues are often confused, resulting in some controversy about the future development of such islands.
